Jake the only son of Solomon
Come b**ba yalle, come b**ba tambee
Whirled about and touched the sun
Come konka yalle, come konka tambee
Left that baby in a white man's house
Come b**ba yalle, come b**ba tambee
Heddy took him to a red man's house
Come konka yalle, come konka tambee
Black lady fell down on the ground
Come b**ba yalle, come b**ba tambee
Threw her body all around
Come konka yalle, come konka tambee
Solomon and Ryna, Belali, Shalut
Yaruba, Medina, Muhammet, too
Nestor, Kalina, Saraka cake
Twenty-one children, the last one Jake!
O Solomon don't leave me here
Cotton balls to choke me
O Solomon don't leave me here
Buckra's arms to yoke me
Solomon done fly, Solomon done gone
Solomon cut across the sky, Solomon gone home
